Employment History Of A Reincarnating Jew

I had a jobprying gold teeth
from corpsesI had a jobdigging graves for
thousandsI had a job
cleaning shit from train carsthen one day they
shot mein the back of the
head.At least I had a
jobuntil I was dead.Now I'm with the
livingdon't know how it
happenedthese jobs vague
memoriesstuck in my DNA.I have a job
cleaning bathrooms that aren't even
dirtyI deliver flowers
to lovers I must have been
promoted. If death is
fleeting and so is life,It's the soul that
holds all memoryof many lives and
deaths: how is itthat I recall
voices I've never heardplaces I've never
been? Perhaps I'll live
again then move on and I'll have a
job. If I'm righteoussome day I'll be
The Memory Keeperand tell an epic
storylike the Book Of
Judgment about which the
Rabbis sing.

About Me

A Midwesterner by birth, I migrated to the West Coast just in time to be a hippie but discovered that I related better to the Beatniks. I harkened back to an "old school" world of hard bop, Coltrane, jazz, poetry, painting and photography. A large part of my life went "off the rails" and I experienced the reality of the streets for too long. Putting myself back together was the defining experience of my life so far. It wasn't easy. It did, however, nurture the writer in me. I have written novels, memoirs, poems, humorous fake emails, and commercials

for ridiculous non existent products. I have a passion for astronomy, history, psychology, the pure abstract absurdity of human experience (what the hell is it?). My partner is an honest to god Animal Communicator, as nutty as that may sound to some people. She is the real deal. She also suffers from Fibro and it's a curse with which we must work every day.
